To all whom it may concern,.- 4

Be it known that I, HEINRICH EGBERTS, of Bremen, Germany, have invented a new and Improved Holder for Umbrellas, Sticks, Pipes, and Similar Articles, (patented in England, No. 21,385, dated December 7, 1891; in France, No. 217,924, dated December 8, 1891; in Austria-Hungary, No. 58,1101 and No. 7,288, dated May 13, 1891; in Belgium, No. 97,507, dated December 9, 1891, andin Germany, No. 60,693, dated June l2, 1891,) of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description;

My improvement is embodied in three connected and co-operating parts, to wit, (first) a plate having recesses to receive the umbrella handles, canes, dac.; (second) cruciform rotatable devices, which are pivoted adjacent to said recesses, on the side, and project into the latter as they rotate; and (third) spring pawls or detents that engage the arms `of said devices in the manner hereinafter described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a side elevation of the holder embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan of the same. tion of the bottom trough which may be used in connection with the holder. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the holder and trough showing a cane and umbrellas held in position therein; and Fig. 5 is a vertical cross section through the bottom trough.

The holder is provided with a plate b, which has a series of parallel recesses b', opening inward from the front edge and. adapted to receive the various articles, and on the under side of the plate and following its front edge is a depending flange b2, which is broken away at intervals to provide for the movement of the cruciform holders orcross pieces, as hereinafter described. On the'back edge of the.

plate b is a iiange y', having perforations therein to receive screws y, by which the holder may be securedto a wall.

Pivoted on the under side of the plate Z? :and adjacent to the recesses therein are the cruciform holders or cross pieces a', the arms Fig. 3 is a front eleva-y cesses b', and these cruciform holders are pivoted upon studs c, and held in place by split pins c', or their equivalents which pass'transversely through the lower ends of the studs c. `The arms of the cruciform pieces a are adapted to swing successively into the re' cesses ZJ and to lock the umbrellas or other articles between them and the inner walls of the recesses.

The cruciform pieces are held in place and prevented from easy turning by the bent pawls d, which are pivoted on the under side of the plate b near the back thereof, and which are mounted on pins f. 'lhe pawls d are bent or'curved so that their free ends will come behind one of the arms of the cruciform pieces and the body. portion of the pawl will extend into the path of another arm, and the pawls will thus prevent the cruciform pieces from turning freely in either direction.

The pins f carry springs e, the free ends of which engage studs d' on the pawls d and thus press the pawls into engagement with the cruciform pieces ct. The pawls and springs are held in place by pins f', as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. To prevent the floor or carpet from being soiled, the bottom trough H, is used which trough is placed directly beneath the holder so as to receive the lower end of the articles held by the holder, and the trough may be of any approved construction and is preferably provided with perforated flanges H at its back upper edge to facilitate its attachment to the wall.- To hold an umbrella or other article the lower end of the umbrella is placed in the trough and the upper end pushed into one of the recesses b', thus swinging the one arm of a cruciform piece out of the way and causing another one to swing into place so ,l as to properlyA secure the umbrella. v

It will be understood that the pawls d by reason of their bent shape will hold the cruciform pieces in place, but will still permit them to be turned when an umbrella or other article is inserted in the holder, and it will be also understood that these cruciform pieces may be dispensed with and 'other forms having projectingarms employed, for instance the form of a star.
